Cummins expects to hire for engine work this year

COLUMBUS, Ind. — Engine maker Cummins Inc. expects to start hiring this year at a central Indiana factory as it starts building a new diesel engine that will go into the light-duty Nissan Titan pickup truck.

Production of the 5-liter V8 engine will begin late this year at the Columbus Engine Plant, said Cummins CEO Tom Linebarger.
